Write the symbols of the elements in the order given in the name Example 2 Gallium arsenide Example 3 Tungsten (IV) sulfide 2. Write the charge above each element. If metal is multivalent, the roman numeral after the name indicates the charge of the metal 3. Crossover the charges. Drop the signs and write them as subscripts 4. Reduce the subscripts to its lowest form 5. Drop any ones in the formula 6. The formula

Table 7: Writing names of ionic compounds that contain a multivalent metal Steps to follow when writing the chemical name for an ionic compound that contains a multivalent metal:(use paper copy to fill in) Steps to follow Example 1 1. Identify if the metal is multivalent. If Yes then proceed to the next step otherwise just name the compound 2. Place brackets above each element and place an equal sign between them 3. Place the ratio of the ions in the chemical formula (the subscripts) outside the bracket 4. ALWAYS place the negative charge (anion) first INSIDE the bracket. Calculate the total negative charge 5. Calculate the positive charge of the metal. So that the total + charge = total charge 6. The positive charge in the bracket is the charge of the metal ion. Write this charge as a Roman numeral after the name of the metal Fe3P2 Example 2 V2O5 Example 3 PbS2 Table 8:Nomenclature of Multivalent Binary Ionic Compounds: Fill the table with appropriate metal ion, non-metal ion and the chemical formula of the compound.
